Hello, I'm thinking of buying a tablet off FocalPrice for $73 and there are two different models I'm thinking of;
B700 7" Android 4.1.1 or GD IPPO M7 7" Android 4.2.2
Now my questions are;
1) If I try the Google store to download apps and the tablet is not compatable, can you please post the link I need to Root it?
2) Do I need to Root it to allow me to download and install apps on my own?
Thank you

No (unless the app needs root, of course).

I'm confused So if I want to get an app/game on my tablet that I download, how do I do it?
Ok, well instead of rooting, do you guys have a list of some good Third Party App stors that I can download from and then Sideload them to my tablet?

1) If the tablet is not compatible with an App, you can download the.apk file from any other source and run it to the point that your device is capable of doing so. For instance, Play Store displayed Whatsapp as incompatible on a Samsung Galaxy Star. I downloaded the .apk from the Whatsapp website and installed it and its working fine.
2) No, you dont need to root to install apps of your own, you just need to enable installing .apk's other than those from play store from the Android Settings. However, there are some apps that will require Root to function, but these apps are usually advanced functions.

You only need to download the apk file, copy to your device (internal or external memory, it doesn't mater) and install it using any file explorer (surely your device will come with a file explorer preinstalled). That's it.
The best deivce you have listed from them is the 2nd one due to the fact that it is running the latest version of android. You don't need root to install most apps and games but you might sometimes come across apps that need root to do specific tasks.
Thanks guys.
I did order the GD IPPO M7 7" Android 4.2.2, got it yesterday and is Google Play compatible
Now maybe I should open a new thread but had a question about 3DVplayer.
My tablet says it supports screen scale adjustment between 4:3 & 16:9 and 2D & 3D but when I play a 3D movie I just get the two screens side by side. Is there a trick in getting 3D to work properly?
Thanks
I have the same exact tablet. All was working fine until today, when the word "DEMO" appeared in bright red in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Went into recovery mode and did a factory reset, but it is still there. Anyone know how to get rid of it?

Had it less than a month. Actually ordered two, only one has the problem with DEMO in the corner. Don't think it has Bluetooth. Contacted the seller about my issue, so hopefully will get it addressed.

I don't know about yours but I also bought a Chinese tablet. The specs stated that Bluetooth N/A and there were no Bluetooth settings in the settings but I downloaded a Bluetooth File Transfer software from Play and was shocked to find out that my tab actually had Bluetooth! I could transfer files but haven't checked a headset. I can turn it on from any Bluetooth switch widget

Hello everybody, I'm new to the SII scene, coming from an Acer Liquid background.
I'm having a little problem : i can't access «protected» apps on the market, like Riptide, Livelocker, ...
I don't really now how I'm supposed to unlock this without doing anything dirty.
I think it's not something that could be solved through market enabler, as friends with the same carrier as I don't face this problem.
Thank you for your help !!!

So, I tried a few things, but can't manage to find a clean solution :/

Apps will be filtered depending on your handset. Certain apps are for certain handsets only (E.g. Trackball alert for the Nexus one). You can't see games like Riptide as they're meant for tegra2 devices. The easiest way to view them is to download chainfire 3d and choose the 'Fix market' option, it'll then let you view all tegra2 based apps on the market.
Thank you for your help, but I still can't see LiveLocker... And I fail to understand why :/

«I think it's not something that could be solved through market enabler, as friends with the same carrier as I don't face this problem.»
I tried market enabler, this has nothing to do with region it seems.
As expected, the B&N app store is really lacking. Is it possible to sideload apps?
Do we have to wait until root and custom firmwares are out before this is available?
I inserted my card into it - it can't recognize APK files, so maybe not yet.
Perhaps we just need to get a decent browser on it and associate .apk with package installer. Don't know.

Anyone tried adb to install apps?

Currently it looks like they are talking about Amazon AppStore items right now.

The Amazon Instant Video APK has been pulled from the Kindle Fire and can be installed on the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
A couple of caveats:
(1) To use the Prime Instant video features, you must first purchase something to login. There is no separate login otherwise.
(2) It appears to only work over wifi
(3) If your device is rooted, it will not work.

Umm...for the simple fact that you can use Voodoo OTA temp unroot from the Market. Also the new version of this APK in todays 6.2 update doesnt work. It says this device is not suppose to be able to run Amazon Video Player.
I assume Amazon is cracking down...

Never heard of temp unroot, thanks, but yeah, as of late, amazon released a fire update, ruining everyones root on the fire and deleting the market. Probably part of that updated.
Pr0tip: This works on Gingerbread but not on HoneyComb.
Bunch of hypocrites, they sell root only apps
http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/some_amazon_appstore_apps_require_rooting_att_need_not_apply/
installs and runs great on hp touchpad. however on purchase and login i get the following: Error linking device: Unknown error
What do you mean it runs great? I get to the point of seeing the button to play the video, but it is grayed out. I can play Amazon videos fine on my Exhibit II by temporarily unrooting the stock OS. It seems Cyanogenmod is somehow detected, because it doesn't work on my Nook Color with the Cyanogenmod either.

whoever wrote this article obviously has never had the balls to root a device and actually see what is possible, or even research it for that matter
I have the apk that allows me to play the videos for free that come with the amazon prime account (I signed up for a free month), but I don't see how to 'borrow' a book for free - this also comes with the prime account on kindle devices. Anyone have any information on how to do this on a Galaxy Tab?
Only Kindle devices can borrow books for free with the Prime membership. (you borrow directly from the device)
Two things. One KFHD looks for the device to be logged into amazon, I bet this requires framework not on our devices. Two, probably crashes when trying to view due to same.
Bottom line? Besides logcats to figure things out, I'm pretty sure a system dump will be needed to get the correct files to go with this......

You don't need to temp in root either. There's an xposed module called root cloak that let's you pick specific apps to hide root from. Works great
I tried to download Splashtop in the market but got this message "This app is incompatible with all of your devices." I attached the screen grab here. What's more strange is that I used to be able to download it and use it without any problem. That was before I reset my tablet. Any of you guys out there having the same issue? Any help is much appreciated.
That's strange, I have it on my Tab and am using it almost daily, everything works. But I have a P-7500. Maybe a simple mistake on their part? Or an update that doesn't work with out Tabs yet?
Are you running a stock ROM? Is your Tab rooted? We can help with a little more info

Thanks for all the replies. I appreciate the information. I am using stock. Not rooted. Still can't figure out why though.
Um I was looking at your screenshot and it doesn't even recognized that your have purchased this. I was able to uninstall and install with no issues. Only difference was Market showed I had purchased it. I'm running task13 with Boosted theme. I would send an email to the developer to see what they say or tried to reinstall market on your tab and see if that helps.
installed last night and works slick........great app I am rooted on Task latest slim......dill
Is it possible it isn't available in your country?
Not sure if you can see this if you don't buy the app, but when you click install in a free app and are choosing which device to send it to, it offers some extra info if your device is unsupported (for instance "this application is not available in your country" etc)

Thanks for the reply. I have seen "not available in your country" message before for some other apps but not this one. I installed it before but that was the trial version. Anyhow, I will try getting into market using a VPN and see what happens. Thanks everyone.

Tried both resetting the tab and accessing Market using VPN. Now "Splashtop Desktop Remote" doesn't even come up. All I got is this (shown in the picture attached). I am just really puzzled.
Guys, thanks so much for all your replies and input. I just decided I can't be bothered with it any more. I give up. Thanks.
Sorry to hear you couldn't make it work... as a last idea, did you try emailing their support team? They might have a solution for you, or at least tell you what exactly the problem is
Is this app free? i browse from my PC and it show that is is a paid app.
I have 2 16gb Nook tabs and an 8gb color. I guess I am looking to be able to put apps from different places on them so what kind of roots would be recommended for these Nooks? Thanks

Root is root. There's only 1 "kind" of root, though there are several methods of rooting.
It is really easy to root borh Color and Tablet. Once rooted you can add apps to your heart's content!
You donät need to install an alternative operating system (CM7/9/10). It's perfectly all right to stay in the Nook original OS and just add the apps.
I did the 4.7 root to one, so I was just wondering if I really need to go any further. This is my first dealings with apps and I really don't know what I need to do to get apps easily and cheaply. What I think I got is a way to get apps from somewhere other than BN store. If that is all I want do I really need cm's?
No you don't need anything else just to get apps. Side load if you've already got the apk or get them from Google or Amazon or wherever you want.

Thanks! I will keep looking for apps. I did hit a problem when I downloaded and app and it said format unkown. I had unknown sources checked so I am not sure what the problem is. I then went to my root card and it had amazon store app and it said the same thing on that. Kinda wierd.
I got this to work! Downloaded it anew and installed!
